Burrowing Owl

[Malcolm Mackenzie]

Technicals: 1Ds MkIII,500mm w/2.0X, f/8.0, 1/250

Taken (note Artie), at post Christmas IPT. I have full on light pics but liked this off center alternative.

All comments appreciated.

Thank you for looking.

Beatiful colors, BG, light, sharpness. A real pleasure for the eye - the minimum f/8 apperture surprises bearing in mind the result!

Nice work Malcolm. Some might say crop down but being a vertical I sometimes like a more expansive space above the bird like in this case. I also like how the feet are in shadow and then transitions into the golden sun.

Hi Malcolm we sure had one cooperative bird !!!!! I like it as presented Particularly like being able to see the legs and the soft light !!

[John Zimmerman]

Beautiful shot Malcolm. With such a cooperative bird, I hope you got a model release,LOL.

Great composition and sweet light spells a fine owl image. Very nice.

Great light, angle and pose. Maybe a little bit more sharpening.

[Matthew Studebaker]

[Jody Melanson]

Wonderful image, no nits from me.

Nicely presented, Malcom. I like your angle more than the ones I got, as the feet are more visible

[Manos Papadomanolakis]

I really like the angle and the light!!!
